3 months old... (13 weeks and 1 day)

Height: 25 inches (95th percentile)

Weight: 14.4 pounds (91st percentile)

Teeth: zero, but working on them!

Sizes: Clothes: 0-3 months (quickly approaching 3-6 months), Diaper: Size 1, Shoes: finally outgrowing her NB shoes, Size 1

Sleeping: Addison is a good sleeper at night. Her bedtime routine includes a bath (if it's bath night), lotion and playing on the changing table, a bedtime book by Mommy or Daddy and then nursing to sleep while rocking in our glider. We then put her in her crib with her cd playing. She usually is asleep sometime between 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. Addy normally still wakes once during the night to eat but falls right back to sleep after a diaper change and nursing. She then wakes up sometime between 6 and 8 a.m. full of smiles and laughs for us!

She doesn't have a "nap schedule," but she naps when she needs/wants to during the day.

Likes: Eating, sleeping, playing.... She is a good nurser and will also take a bottle well. She goes to sleep with no problems at night. She likes to play with everyone. Just about anyone can get her to smile! Mommy and Daddy are her favorite playmates, and Mrs Chantal and Chesney, Karina, Pheobe and Silas have fun with her during the week. Silas is 1 year old and LOVES Addy. Chantal has to make sure he's not TOO sweet to her!

She LOVES to wiggle on the floor! She will get both of her arms and legs going and get so happy while she plays! It is so much fun to watch!

Dislikes: Addison is a very happy baby, so far she only dislikes having her nose wiped... other than that she is usually all smiles!

Favorite Foods: Mommy's Milk

Least Favorite Foods: ??

Favorite Toys: Her Hands! Addison discovered her hands a few weeks ago and will stare at them and turn them around. She will then try to fit her entire fist into her mouth. She also likes her baby doll, bunny that plays "Twinkle, Twinkle," her Tiger blankie, Minnie Mouse rattle, and LSU cheerleader bear.




Favorite Books:
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, There's a Monster at the End of this Book (Little Golden Book staring Grover that was Mommy's), 123 to the Zoo, Guess How Much I Love You.

Favorite Outings: Stroller rides with Mommy and Daddy, Baby Bay at church on Sundays, Mrs. Chantal's house (babysitter) and trips to the park with her and her children

New Words: No words yet for Addy, but she will talk and coo up a storm with you. We are going to have a talker on our hands!!!

Daddy's Favorites: Her smile! When you wake up in the mornings, she is usually already awake and is so happy to see you! Daddy/Addy time in the mornings while Mommy gets ready for work. We get to talk, laugh, play and either watch Mike and Mike in the Morning or Sportscenter for about 30 minutes. Soon she will be enjoying watching baseball and long Saturdays and Sundays watching football with Daddy!

Mommy's Favorites: Addy's smile! I love our time together when she nurses. I love it when she chooses to nurse from me over a bottle (while she was in the middle of the bottle!). I love rocking/nursing her to sleep at night. Bath time! Smiles in the morning. Addison wakes up so happy to see you. I even love our middle of the night nursing sessions! I actually enjoy changing her diaper too!
